Running Atmosphere 9.0.4 with Software 9.0.1... booting with fusee-primary.bin and using these signature patches (i-heard-that-you-guys-need-some-sweet-patches-for-atmosphere). However, when i launch some games i get the error could not start the software please try again from the home menu. How do i fix/prevent this?
